Wow. We really wanted a good local Indian restaurant, but this ain't it. I should have known when I walked in. The floor, and probably every other surface, was covered in grease. My shoes stuck to the floor, which was absolutely blackened with filth.We had ordered veg samosa, chicken korma, palak paneer, and naan.The samosas were good, but cold, like they were made quite awhile ago.The chicken korma, was in NO WAY a korma, which is a nutty cream sauce. This was a thin coconut soup with, I kid you not, rando chunks of chicken tikka. Just...wth?!The palak was almost flavorless, though the paneer was good.The naan was an almost inedibley tough disk, of what I think was a premade pizza base.This disaster was more than $40. Absolutely terrible, and frankly, probably sub par for health code. I wonder when the last time there was an inspection? Gross.

I got onion naan, butter chicken and small rice for takeout. Idk what it was about the butter chicken but I could not stop eating it!!! It was sooo good. Really good flavor. $20 for all this food. Was 2 1/2 meals for me so well worth it!!

Great Indian food! A must have if you are looking for great food! Came to Pacifica to visit my girlfriend and we got this place. Ugh so great!

I was disappointed to get chunks of dry microwave cooked chicken in my Tikka Masala. Their sauce is still good along with their Garlic Naan and rice. But the chicken was really unacceptable. Not sure I will go there again soon.

Pretty let down. If you're going to charge extra for rice the rice should be good, but its not basmati and tastes old. Butter chicken isn't anything special, tastes closer to Campbells tomato soup than it does the richness and savoryness of good butter chicken. Naan is flat and dense and disappointing. Almost 20 bucks for a whole meal, was hoping for better.

Amazing curry here! And not too expensive. Came here on a whim and was so pleasantly surprised. Plenty of veggie options (the mixed veggie curry was delicious)! They threw in free naan even though i didn't order it, and I'm so glad they did, best naan ever. They really don't skimp on serving size either.

The food was very delicious and they made th food the spicy level we asked for! They have great samosas and butter chicken. They also added a dessert to our order for us to try. Great customer service and great food.

Wow! My first time here and definitely not my last time! I got the chicken tikka masala and loved it! Large enough portion for two meals! I'll be back!

This place hands-down has the best vegetarian tikka masala my partner and I have ever had! We got the mixed veggie. Saucy, and loaded up with carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, and more! Great flavor. The naan was good, but, man, this tikka masala was great. Btw, we ordered this on Thanksgiving day around lunch, and it was only a 10 min wait. Delicious!

Very good Indian food. Staff is nice and service is great. My favorite is the prawn vindaloo. I highly recommend this place.

Kinda brusque borderline rude. Food was very good. Watch out for the big seeds of spices for flavor burst. Took 40 minutes on a Thursday night, said 30. Gave us dessert for free. Mixed emotions.

I asked for tea and all I got was milk with sugar with a hint of tea. It was like they added one pinch of tea leaves to a gallon of water. Worst tea I have ever had in my life! Don't know if the owner ever cared to taste it or even look at it as it was milky and not at all tea in color. And they charge you 2 bucks for that! Wow Would never go there in even if I'm starving to death

This place brings much needed variety to this part of town. I've been eating here for a while now and I am absolutely hooked on their lamb. I love grabbing some extra spicy lamb vindaloo for my spicy food fix. The vegetarian options are pretty good too.Just order one of their lamb dishes with some naan and maybe some rice if you're into it and you are good.

Food is consistently delicious. Everything is always fresh. Their garlic naan is my favorite item on the menu. I have been coming here since they opened, and I think they're one of the best restaurants in Pacifica.
